I know I’m a “square”, but I never did understand the attraction of so-called recreational drugs, especially something as lethal as heroin. What makes young people so susceptible to them?
Group-think, peer pressure, and availability. A teen or young adult goes to a party, has a few alcoholic drinks, maybe a joint or two, the next thing you know someone has some "good stuff" for them to try which makes them feel "amazing" and because of the affect on the pleasure center of the brain, they can become instantly hooked. All it takes is one or two times, and the brain's main goal is to get that feeling again, and it will make you sick (withdrawal) if you do not.
It's beyond bizarre. Nothing is being done to kick invaders out of the country. There's an increase in reported hispanic drug involvement and crime. Nobody connects the dots and says people need jobs and people coming to the US to sell drugs need to be kicked out.
Yesterday, there was a report of a dealer of the killer heroin being charged wit murder and the person whose car the deal went down in being charged with accesory to murder.
I have trouble with that. It's more like providing the goods for suicide if they knew how lethal it is. Wouldn't it be easier to keep invaders out of the US and gain control of the often hispanic neighborhoods where this is coming from?
Were we really worse off when as kids we got to be bad just by smoking a few cigarettes? I lived long enough to give up the habit.
In a nutshell, the absence of spiritual protection against a very dark potion
Because the most addictive drugs physically feel better than anything you can imagine and make you instantly forget about any problems. It’s like going to heaven for $10 a day. Initially at least.
Then the user must keep taking more of them just to live.
